ELF statifier create from dynamically linked executables and all its libraries one file. This file can be copied and run on another machine without need to drag all its libraries.

Dynamically linked executables are smaller then statically linked. From the other side dynamically linked executables use shared libraries compiled in PIC (position independend code) which is slower than "normal" one.

Files, created by statifier ("pseudo-static") combine disadvantages of both of them:

Huge - much bigger than statically linked
Still use PIC code

So, why one will use it ?

Ok, "pseudo-static" files have some advantages too:

Everything in one file - so distributing is simple
Same file can be used for computers with different libraries versions
Faster startup

But all these one can got with usual static files.
So, why use statifier and huge "pseudo-static" executables instead of static ?

there is no source code available
there is no compiler (or build-chain) available
static link does not work or its not obvious how do it
to preserve memory layout - static link will change it and may "wake-up" hidden bugs
for "permanent link" LD_PRELOAD library into executable

Supported platforms

Crash Recovery for Linux sounds a bit superfluous. Linux is regarded as one of todays most stable Operating Systems. In the case of some hardware failure like a broken disk it can however be handy.
Of course your machine doesnt have to have linux installed to make use of the CRK kit. There are several uses and purposes for the CRK to be used. To name a few :
- recovery of a trashed LILO boot record. How many times does it happen that some person installs windows 98/95 after he/she installed linux? Well in that case windows 9X just overwrites the MBR record and linux wont be able to boot anymore.
- backup over the network in the form of tar.gz tarballs. Both FAT16, FAT32, ext2 and all filesystems which Linux supports in a read/write fashion can be taken care of. The strong part of the CRK is when a disk is replaced or repartitioning is being done. The CRK boots a complete mini linux with networking where all possible hardware which is inside the Linux kernel is available.
- Testing hardware of new intel based machines.
- Detecting versions and types of hardware. The Linux kernel holds a large database of hardware supported. Booting a linux kernel doesnt only resolve if the hardware is ok, it also show its specs. This can be handy if one wants to check-out an old/new PC which is for sale.
- Recovery of a misconfigured or hacked Linux system. Well that can happen. /etc/fstab can be wrong or the root password is unknown etc.
- make a tape backup of a disk which cant be booted anymore.
The CRK is based on RedHat Linux. I have always used RedHat systems, thats why. When my system needed maintenance the rescue floppy image which RedHat supplies didnt fullfill my needs.
Thats why i created the CRK. Lately i use Mandrake. How and why the CRK was created read the short history. The CRK is licensed under the GNU Public License (GPL).

Tree::Visualize is a Perl module for visualizing Tree structures.

SYNOPSIS

use Tree::Visualize;
use Tree::Binary;

my $tree = Tree::Binary->new("*")
->setLeft(
Tree::Binary->new("+")
->setLeft(Tree::Binary->new("2"))
->setRight(Tree::Binary->new("2"))
)
->setRight(
Tree::Binary->new("+")
->setLeft(Tree::Binary->new("4"))
->setRight(Tree::Binary->new("5"))
);

my $visualize = Tree::Visualize->new($tree, ASCII, TopDown);
print $visualize->draw();

# +---+
# +--------| * |-------+
# | +---+ |
# +---+ +---+
# +--| + |--+ +--| + |--+
# | +---+ | | +---+ |
# +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
# | 2 | | 2 | | 4 | | 5 |
# +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+

my $tree = Tree::Binary::Search->new();
foreach my $value (7, 3, 1, 0, 2, 5, 4, 6, 11, 9, 10, 8, 13, 12, 14) {
$tree->insert($value => $value);
}

my $visualize = Tree::Visualize->new($tree, ASCII, Diagonal);
print $visualize->draw();

# (7)-------------(11)-----(13)-(14)
# | | |
# | | (12)

# (3)-----(5)-(6)

# (0)

my $tree = Tree::Simple->new("test")
->addChildren(
Tree::Simple->new("test-1")
->addChildren(
Tree::Simple->new("test-1-1")
),
Tree::Simple->new("test-2"),
Tree::Simple->new("test-3")
);

my $visualize = Tree::Visualize->new($tree, ASCII, TopDown);
print $visualize->draw();

NOTE: This is very early release alpha software
The goal of this module is to provide a means of easily visualizing trees in a number of output formats and layouts. Currently only ASCII output and a limited number of formats are supported. There is some support for output as GraphViz dot files, but that is buggy at best right now.

As I said, this is alpha software, and so please dont expect it to do all that much. Many of the classes inside are not even implemented, and few if any are documented. I am releasing this to CPAN largely as a means of self-motivation, although I can make no promises about the speed of my progress.

This new version of ExTiX Linux Live DVD includes the 2.6.11 kernel by default, KDE 3.4.1, OpenOffice.org 2.0, KOffice, Emacs, Gimp 2.2.8, Qcad, AMSN, Kopete (Instant Messenger), Konversation (IRC Chat), aMule (filesharing - you will automatically be connected to the best servers), Firefox 1.0.6, Mozilla 1.7.8,Thunderbird 1.0.2, Kino, Xmovie,Totem Movie Player, Rosegarden4 (Music Editor), Bittornado, Wine, gFTP, Kbear and Vsftpd.

The exciting news, however, is the addition of UnionFS. UnionFS stacks your Knoppix ramdisk on top of the read-only filesystem on the DVD, the effect being that you can apt-get install, and otherwise modify all of the files on the running system as though they were all writeable.

Changes can be stored too (even on NTFS). The standard KDE-language is English. You can, however, easily change language (and keyboard layout) to Swedish, Danish, Finnish or Norwegian. (Go to Menu >> Control Center >> Country >> Keyboard Layouts).

Recovery Is Possible (RIP) is a Slackware-based CD or floppy boot/rescue/backup/maintenance system. It has support for a lot of filesystem types (Reiserfs, Reiser4, ext2/3, iso9660, UDF, XFS, JFS, UFS, HPFS, HFS, MINIX, MS DOS, NTFS, and VFAT) and contains a bunch of utilities for system recovery.
R.I.P. also has IDE/SCSI/SATA, PCMCIA, RAID, LVM2, and Ethernet/DSL/cable/PPP/PPPOE network support.
The bootable CD image `RIP-12.4.iso.bin can be written to a CD/DVD disk, using cdrecord/dvdrecord etc.
The 2.6.11.6 kernel has IDE/SATA and SCSI support. The kernel also has PCMCIA, LVM2, RAID, and Ethernet/cable/dsl/ppp/ pppoe/wireless networking support.
These are some of the programs it contains (partimage/partimaged, parted, dump/restore, reiserfsck, fsck.reiser4, fdisk, cfdisk, sfdisk, mke2fs, e2fsck, tune2fs, debugfs, mkfs.xfs, jfs_mkfs, jfs_fsck, xfs_repair, cdrecord/dvdrecord, mkisofs, dvd+rw-format, growisofs, ntfsresize, mkntfs, lynx, mutt, fetchmail, pop3spam, popselect, ncftp, epic irc, tin, telnet, wget, naim, zgv, testdisk, smbclient, smbmount, ssh/sshd, rsync, udp-sender/receiver, lde, blesstivo, rtvpatch, chntpw, cmospwd, grub, grubconfig, smartctl, memtest86, captive-ntfs, ddrescue, dd_rescue, acpitool, dmidecode, hwinfo, lshw, ethtool)
It also includes the DVD udf filesystem packet writing tools (cdrwtool, mkudffs, pktsetup).
The reiserfsck and fsck.reiser4 programs are used to check and repair a Linux reiserfs and reiser4 filesystem.
The xfs_repair program is used to repair a Linux xfs filesystem.
The jfs_fsck program is used to check and repair a Linux jfs filesystem.
The e2fsck program is used to check and repair a Linux ext2 or ext3 filesystem.
The ntfsresize program non-destructively resizes Windows XP/2000/NT4 or Windows Server 2003 NTFS filesystems. Read /usr/doc/RIP/ntfsresize.txt on the rescue system.
The parted program is used for creating, destroying, resizing (fat16/32, ext2/3, reiserfs v3.6), checking and copying partitions, and the file systems on them. This is useful for creating space for new operating systems, reorganising disk usage, copying data between hard disks and disk imaging.
The partition image program partimage saves partitions in the ext2, ext3, reiserfs, jfs, xfs, ufs, ntfs, fat16, and fat32 formats to an image file. Only used blocks are copied to save space and increase the speed. The image file can be compressed, in gzip or bzip2 formats.
Enhancements:
- A few fixes and updates were done.

PROJ.4 is a cartographic projections and datum shifting library written in C. PROJ.4 includes support for many (100+) projections, including Transverse Mercator and Lambert Conformal Conic.
Included is a command line program for reprojecting points. It was originally written by Gerald Evenden of the USGS, and is in active use in various commercial and freeware software.
Enhancements:
- EPSG was upgraded to the 6.11.1 coordinate system database.
- Krovak projection was fixed up, and Roussilhe Stereographic projection was added.
- The experimental +lon_wrapp flag was added for longitude wrapping control.
